On Wimpy

Being a fast food outlet, Wimpy is always going to be a target for health nuts. As a defence, they put tables of nutritional information out on most of their meals. It was interesting to note the fat and energy content of their new breakfast, the “Flat Bread Stack Breakfast”, which I had enjoyed the day before without looking at what was in it (I saw a picture and thought “foooood”. It was good). Apart from the fact that it provides roughly two thirds of a typical person’s daily energy requirement, I was amazed to see that the nutritional information at the bottom of the advert on the sauce holder thingy claims that the total fat content of the meal is 55.9kg. That’s more than what I weighed all through high school. Wow.
